INDEPENDENT LIVING IN YOUR OWNHOME CAN BE A REALITY.

JEVS Human Services offers Supports Coordination and Nursing Home Transition services – and can make a difference in the lives of adults with physical disabilities.

SUPPORTS COORDINATIONWho do we serve? Adults over the age of 18 with physical disabilities that will last for more than one year who wish to remain in their own homes, work, attend school and participate more fully in their communities. Participants reside in Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, or Chester counties. Services are also available to residents of all other counties in Pennsylvania.

What services are available? We help individuals and their families or care-givers access needed waiver services and other State Medicaid Plan services, as well as medical, social and other services regardless of the funding source. Supports Coordination works with the participant whenever possible to identify, coordinate, and facilitate all necessary services. We assess independent living needs, make personal visits, advocate and coordinate needed services.

What do services cost? Services are free for those who qualify. Fees are assessed on a sliding scale basis for individuals who do not qualify for free services.
